What is the difference between Intellectual Disability, Developmental Disability, and IDD?
People. May often what is difference between intellectual disability AND developmental disability?
Developmental Disability is disabilities that start before 18 years old . These Kinds of disabilities can include limitations in cognition, motor performance, vision, hearing and speech, or behavior. Some examples of these types of disabilities are ADHD, Tourette syndrome, epilepsy, spina bifida, fetal alcohol syndrome , Cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and autism spectrum disorders .
Intellectual disabilities is characterized by mental limitations and difficulty with adaptive behaviors. Part of this means lower than normal having a harder time doing daily living tasks. Some examples of syndromes that may result in intellectual disabilities are Down syndrome, fragile x syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, and Prader-Willi syndrome.
I hope this help explain the difference between those two types of disabilities.

Thanks for sharing this! I do see a lot of things that use them interchangeably.
Is it fair to say all intellectual disabilities that occur in childhood are also developmental disabilities? Not all developmental disabilities are intellectual disabilities though.
@AffyAvo Same here.
@Heartsandrosesandpaws Thanks for educating us.
